Japanese club manufacturer Miura Golf, which has been making forged irons for 44 years, has announced the K Grind wedge. The sole design of each wedge is grinded by hand for uncompromised short-game performance. The sole of the new K Grind wedge is "fluted," which bears a striking resemblance to finger-tip impressions, or even human knuckles. The idea behind these three channels is to reduce the resistance against the wedge in sand, thick rough, and even the fairway.The channels in the sole of the wedge are designed to move with the grass instead of against it, and move around the sand instead of colliding with it. It allows the wedge to accelerate through the ball with less effort in all conditions. Characteristics of the K Grind Wedge make it easier to hit good shots out of wet sand and deep rough, reduce the odds of catching it heavy on long bunker shots, and aid acceleration on half and quarter swings around the green. The wedge has a suggested retail price of $250. Miura Golf's corporate office is located in Vancouver, British Columbia and Miura clubs are sold at the custom-fitting shops throughout North America.

~ from the article ~Miura Hybrids
Vancouver, B.C., -based Miura Golf has expanded its golf club offerings to include hybrids. Katsuhiro Miura has created a tour-quality hybrid that uses a carbon plate to the crown to create a low center of gravity in the head. “After a few shots with the Miura utilities, golfers will notice more of an iron-like ball flight, not the typical hybrid trajectory,” says Bill Holowaty, vice president of Miura Golf North American Operations. “This type of trajectory will help the mid-to-low handicappers with approach shots on long par 4s and second shot par 5s with a ball flight that will be able to hold today’s harder greens.” The Miura hybrids come in 17, 20, and 23 degrees. The head cc sizes are not overly large, but are certainly big enough to easily hit. Priced at $239, the Miura hybrid comes with a standard Nippon NSPro 950 steel shaft, with other shaft options available at different price points. www.miuragolf.com

~ from the article ~Expensive But Worth It
Miura Golf is known as maybe the top maker of irons in the world; a bold statement to be sure, however just ask those who have a set. The company just entered the utility/hybrid market with the Precious line of hybrids and they are as good as their irons. Available in lofts of 17, 20 and 23 degrees the ball flight is a mid to high launch angle and there’s lots of weight in the sole so getting the ball air borne is no problem. With the standard graphite shaft you can be Precious for $239.

The Yoshitaka wedges are part of Miura Golf's 1957 Series, named to honor the founder of this premium Japanese company, Katsuhiro Miura. Mr. Miura began his career as a premium club designer in that year.

But the Yoshitaka wedges, or Y Wedges, take their name from Katsuhiro's son, Yoshitaka Miura, who is responsible for the special sole grind. The sole grind, designed after many trips to North America to study turf conditions, combine toe and heel relief with a rolled trailing edge to increase playability from a wide range of conditions.

Like all Miura irons, the 1957 Series Yoshitaka Wedges are hand forged and custom made under the direction of Katsuhiro Miura. Feel, feedback and workability, Miura Golf says, are the hallmarks of the Y Wedges.

The grooves on the Y wedges are conforming under the new 2010 groove rules. MSRP, depending on shaft selection, starts at $209. For more info, visit miuragolf.com.

Miura Series 1957 Yoshitaka Wedge
"The newest offering from the master Japanese clubmaker provides golfers with a lot of relief
"
- By Tom Cunneff

A forged iron is a work of art, and the Da Vinci of clubmakers is Katsuhiro Miura, who has been perfecting his craft for more than 50 years in Himeji, Japan.

He has passed on his creative legacy to his two sons, Yoshitaka and Shinei, with the former responsible for creating the company’s latest offering, the Series 1957 Yoshitaka wedges. The "Y" on the sole not only represents Yoshitaka’s mark, but also signifies the club’s special grind, which grew out of a number of trips the Miura family made to North America and Europe to study a variety of turf conditions. The goal was to create a sand wedge with heal and toe relief while not compromising its basic fundamentals.

Mission accomplished. The Y wedge is very versatile in a wide range of playing situations, from a flop shot off a tight lie to a bunker blast in deep, fluffy sand.

The wedges are so gorgeous, though, you might just want to get them mounted and stick them on your wall.

"This is a classy club for confident players that is better suited to game enhancement than game improvement. It favors golfers with a tendency to draw the ball. "

Miura Golf's Vice president Bill Holowaty was intereviewed by Dave Shedloski from The Wire, Q & A is posted on The Wire website.

"Miura making presence known"

While Miura Golf works to build brand awareness in the U.S., one thing is for certain - the company's standard for quality products is legend. The Wire recently spoke with Bill Holowaty, vice president of North America Operations, Miura Golf Inc., about the company's roots and what is ahead for the growing brand.

"Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but Miura Golf's new Series 1957 putters are the most beautiful golf clubs we've ever seen. Japanese manufacturer Miura Golf has been making high-quality forged irons for 43 years. The 2009 putter models - whose Series 1957 monkier pays homage to the company's roots and longevity - are the KM 350, a classic blade (pictured), and the MP 005 and MP 006 which both offer a more contemporary design.
Miura putters are all handmade and undergo the same forging process as the renowned irons. Each putter also features a milld face that reduces skid while providing precise distance control. An oiled-chrome finish and soft profile make this putter a classic beauty."

Portland monthly magazine is a monthly lifestyle magazine that highlights activities in Portland, Oregon and the Northwest U.S. and parts of Canada.

"Steeling Beauty" by Jeff Wallach

"Miura's precision-forged CB 301 irons combine the forgiveness of a cavity back with the playability of a blade. Redefined weight distribution helps the club square more easily for a fluid, natural swing."

"Precious Edition hybrids:
With smaller clubheads, these launch the ball on the mid/high trajectory with mid/low spin and a slight draw bias. They sit square at address with a slight offset. Feel and sound are low pitched, lika a wood.

Precious Edition fairway wood:
Forged from steel and finished in titanium, these also have an expanded sweet spot and deeper CG that help get the ball up."

By Vartan Kupelian

~ from the article ~
“What they’re describing is a solid feel because there is no vibration,” he said. “We see a higher ball speed coming off, also see less spin coming off the clubface. Because the ball is actually sitting on the clubface longer, you’re feeling that solid or soft feel.”

“Mr. Miura uses a phrase, translated into English, which says, the good golfer will find him,” Holowaty said. “He says that based on an overall philosophy of the company. Some might think that’s arrogant.

“Really, what it means is if he makes the best possible iron with consistency and passion, the best he can do, that will allow his company to have success and if he is doing all that, good golfers will eventually find out about him. I think that’s a really unique quality in today’s instant gratification society that there is someone who knows if he maintains the course, the company will be successful.”

Miura Putters, R4000 KM350 Classic Blade and MP 005

Miura say: Miura putters all undergo the same forging process as the Miura irons. Each model's milled face is extremely forgiving, resulting in unequalled feel and distance control.

The forgiveness at impact also reduces skid, resulting in a truer roll of the ball. These new toe-weighted offset putters feature a classic oiledchrome finish that complements each putter's soft visual features.

"The Miura company's latest creations will confer huge bragging rights among gear aficionados and good players. The cavity-backed MC 102s will appeal to higher handicappers, while the more bladelike CB301s are tour-quality irons. I wanted to love these clubs because they were so beautiful and carefully made but, alas, they were a bit too much iron for someone with a swing du jour. Andews and Putney, though, oohed when they looked at the clubs, and aahhed when they hit them so purely that the shots seemed literally to sing."

"With this club in your bag, get used to people admiring it—even if they can’t hit it"
- By Tom Cunneff

The first fairway wood from ironmaker Miura should come with a warning: No matter how good it looks, stay away unless you can seriously golf your ball. With a classic shape, square face and weighting that promotes low spin, the club works best for better players.

The performance is apparent in the numbers (especially spin rate) and in testers’ experience. From the tee and off the turf, they hit consistently flat-trajectory shots, which low handicappers love to play. And the cosmetics and performance reminded many of another niche manufacturer.
“This is the first 3-wood that I would consider replacing my Sonartec with,” says a 2. “Off the tee, I feel confident about hitting tight draws on command.”

"SECRET OF THE PROS"
Miura clubs are in the bag of several Tour players, even those under contract with different manufacturers
By Mike Bailey

"You've probably never heard of Katsuhiro Miura of his gold clubs.
Given the fact that his company does not advertise on any of the networks during PGA Tour events or pay endorsements to any players, why should you?

Then agan, Jose Maria Olazabal knows who he is. So do Curtis Strange and Ian Woosnam, J.L. Lewis and a number of other Tour professionals. They have put Miura's clubs in their bags, and in the case of Woosnam and Olazabal, have won the Masters with them. Even Tiger Woods, reportedly, played with a set of irons made by Miura when he first signed with Titleist in 1997."

The feel of these irons is absolutely amazing. They are soft and provide a nice crisp click at impact. The aura around these irons within the industry is well deserved and we now understand why touring professionals like forgings by Miura.

Looks

In a single word – stunning. The quality and finish of these irons is unmatched in the industry. The CB-201 irons have clean lines and a satin finish incorporated into a traditional design favored by many players.

Summary:
Miura Golf has set the standard for forged irons. If you are a forged iron player and are looking for the industry’s best in quality and feel, then look no further than Miura Golf. We give the Miura CB-201 forged cavity back irons high marks for feel, quality looks and overall playability.

'Smoke Essentials'

Japanese golf clb manufacturer Miura Golf (www.miuragolf.com) - which has been making forged, mild-steel irons for nearly five decades - has taken irons to the next level with the Limited Edition Small Blade forged iron. The new Small Blade irons - like all Miura Golf high-end clubs - are hand-made by the company's legendary 65-year-old founder, Katsuhiro Miura, whose forged clubmaking skills over the past 49 years have prompted the Japanese to claim he has "Gold's hands." The Small Blade iron features a nickel (chrome) finish, and follows the fundamental design and functional concepts of all Miura Golf clbs. However, the Small Blade's muscle-back head is about 15 percent smaller than the company's Tournament Blade iron ehad, and the new iron's face is thicker than the Tournament Blade's face, resulting in more shot stability. The irons retail in sets of three for $1,375 per set.

Miura Golf has been featured under the 'The Good Stuff Extra by Bill Daniels' section as "The Mystery of Miura" on the Golf Chicago Magazine August 2007 issue.

Can smaller be better? Blade lengths on Player's irons are about half an inch shorter than Super Gamer-Improvement Irons. But MIURA goes even further with its Limited Edition Blades or "Baby Blades' (top left) that are nearly seven-eights of an inch shorter than an iron such as CALLAWAY's Fusion Wide Sole (bottm left).

A larger head can result in better stability on off-center hits but can be harder to manipulate and have less feel, says Katsuhiro Miura, Miura's legendary designer. "We want to create simple tools. Our small blade is designed to easily return to square at impact."

Miura Blade has been featured on National Club Golfer Magazine August 2007 issue as one of the top rated "Players Irons". Also a Miura club fitting story highlighting the Miura process has been featured in the same issue.

National Club Golfer Magazine is the Britain's No.1 magazines for the amateur golfer are packed full of news, previews, comment and interviews on all aspects of the world of golf.

Miura Blade was picked up for one of NCG's "Players Irons" with both "feel" & "quality" each scoring 10!

"NCG verdict:
If money is no object and you are an excellent player then you simply must treat yourself to set of Miura Blades. In terms of both performance and looks they are impossible to fault and when this is allied to the kind of fitting process we outline page 102, the result is a set of irons about as good as money can buy. the only reason these irons did not win our test is simply down to the price, which is likely to run into four figures."

Miura Golf
Miura Golf has produced the high-end CB 301 irons. The company says the CB 301 irons have the forgiveness of a cavity-back with the playability of a blade. They have redefined weight distribution within the head. The center of gravity is pulled towards the hosel and more weight is moved out towards the toe. The first feature makes the head close more rapidly and the second slows it down. This grind blends these two forces so that the clubhead squares more easily.

Miura forges the head and the hosel separately with equipment that was custom designed for each specific part. The company says the result is superior feel and a perfectly balanced head, and every hosel is milled and symmetrical, with the tightest bore tolerances of any manufacturer. Miura's forging techniques rearrange the molecular structure of the mild steel in a pattern that is uniform throughout the clubhead, and Miura also uses a proprietary "spin welding" process to produce a consistent hosel. Miura CB 301 irons begin at $1,250 and can exceed $1,500 depending on custom shafts and other custom features. Visit www.miuragolf.com.

When pros need to play their sponsor’s brand but want something even better, then Miura steps in. Carrying the labels of respected brands, his clubs have won the Masters and the U.S. Open. They’re also hidden in the bags of some of the game’s greatest players, as well as wealthy enthusiasts. Now Miura has started selling his own brand of beautiful clubs with forged steel heads created through a 14-step process similar to that used in making traditional Japanese knives. Miura makes only irons and putters. They’re sold through the country’s top on-course pro shops and custom-fitting retailers."

Miura CB-301 has been featured on the Travel + Leisure GOLF Magazine Nov/Dec 2006 Issue.

This season’s irons offer the latest refinements in power, feel and forgiveness

Miura CB-301
For nearly five decades Katsuhiro Miura has been quietly building forged irons for Tour players at his Japanese foundry; before his deal with Nike, Tiger played Titleist irons made by Miura. Recently Miura Golf began retailing its own irons—long a favorite among Internet connoisseurs (that is, gearheads)—in North America. Tight quality controls and a time-consuming forging process give the new player’s cavity back CB-301 a smooth feel. A nice set of shaft options includes the strong yet lightweight Nippon line. $1,149. Call 866-466-4872 or visit www.miuragolf.com.

The Miura wedge is featured in 'The Right Stuff' section in The Golfer magazine.

"Miura Wedge: The soft feel of legendary Japanese clubmaker Katsuhiro Miura's wedge series comes from forging techniques that rearrange the molecular structure of the mild steel in a pattern that is uniform throughout the hitting area."

Miura Golf has been featured on BunkerShot.com, which is one of the best website for golfers. BunkerShot.com is very news oriented and gives golfers a great perspective of all that is new and out there and is very comprehensive.

"After a 47-year career forging clubs for generations of major champions including, from Ian Woosnam to Tiger Woods, master craftsman Katsuhiro Miura's very own brand of irons can now be appreciated by mere mortals. But beware, these stunning tri-ground blades (triple forged for a tight molecular structure) are for better players only, with a thin topline and a centre of gravity closer to the heel than most irons. The CB-301 package can be completely customized to include pured shafts, Tour grinds, preferred lofts and lies or any other personal requirements, while a custom-built set made by the man himself can be yours for a mere £10,000."
